Local presence : York (Eglinton West)
Why this reference : Only real-estate-capable lawyer with an office physically inside the former City of York district (1622 Eglinton Ave W), satisfying the 'sector served prevails' rule (#9) and local anchoring (15/15). GREEN total is carried by long career tenure (≥20yr → 30) and presumed licence (15), offsetting a thin GMB (4.7/10 → 20/35). Flagged for owner review given the small, mixed-practice pool — a substitute should be sought if RE focus can't be confirmed.
Why 80/100, and not 100?
The points below are not taken away from Sheldon L. Kasman: they are simply not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to verify them. Payotte estimates nothing and invents nothing.
- No verifiable distinction found (industry award, press citation, teaching role). Absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.
